Hi All,
I want to copy a movie from a DVD which I bought in a shop, to another
DVD to take with me on holiday. I'll be playing back the copy on my
laptop and (if it is feasible) the hotel's DVD player.
I thought that K3B and a double layer blank DVD+R is all I need to burn
an iso image of the DVD. After two expensive coasters (see other recent
topic) I came to the conclusion that the combination of
K3B/Phillips-DVD8421/Imation-DVD+R DL will just not work. I could start
trying out different brands of DVD+R DL, but I cannot see a sustainable
economic case for persevering with my coaster production. :-(
So far, I haven't managed to burn any DL DVD.
I had a lot of trouble burning DVDs using a USB connected
drive. I moved the drive internal and connected it directly to
the IDE controller and since have had no problems burning
either single or double layer. [IIRC, it's an vanilla OEM
Samsung drive.]
Thanks for all the suggestions! My Phillips DVD writer is internally mounted.
After about half way instead of flipping over and burning the second layer it
just fails with an input/output error. I've tried my Gentoo OS and a Knoppix
CD just in case it was a matter of OS/application settings, but the same
error occurred.
I had problems with DVD DL media, too.
It stopped with a write failure just before beginning to burn the second
layer.
I tried Verbatim DL media and it worked very well.
Since then I _ONLY_ used Verbatim media, I didnt have anymore problems
burning.
HTH
